UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.

SHAVlNG-TRAY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,710, dated April 26, 1881,

Application tiled March 11, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES F. A. HIN- RICHs, ot' Brooklyn, in the county ot' Kings and State ot' NewYork, have invented an 11nprovetnent in Shaving-Trays, ot' which the following is a speciiication.

Mugs have been made in which there is a perforated partition for the support of the soap above the waterspace in the bottom ot the nlug. The same, however, is not easily kept clean, and there is no space f'or the brush except when resting upon the hairs or bristles, in which position the end ot' the brush becornes crooked and the hairs bent sidewise, so that they are not convenient for use.A

My invention relates to an improved tray in which there is space for the soap, a place for the brush to lie dat without the end being in 'contact with "the tray, and a water-space below, the parts being constructed so that they are easily kept clean.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan ot' the tray without the cover. Fig. 2 is a vertical section ofthe tray and cover.

The dish a is ot porcelain or similarinaterial, and is preferably ot an oblong shape, somewhat similar to an ordinary soapdish, and within this is a perforated tray, that is not as long as the interior ot' the dish a, and it is retained in position by ribs c c, so that there is a space between the end ofthe tray and the inner t id ofthe dish a, and this tray is raised upon feet or anges d, so that there is a space in the bottom 4of the tray for water. There are partitions e and f .upon the tray to separate thesoap-space g from the brush-space 71 and iii resting upon the perforated tray, It does not remain wet, and there is ample space below the tra) for the water required in shaving, and the parts i can bc separated for washing or cleaning the dish when desired, thus rendering the shaving-tray a convenient and cleanly article adapted to soap, brush, and water.

I claim as my invention- 1. rlhe dish al, tray b, partitions e andf, fortning receptacles for soap and brush. and a Water-space below the tray, the tray being shorter than the dish. so as to give access to the waterfspace, as set forth.

l 2. The removable perforated tray having partitionsef, for retaining the soap and the brush, and supporting legs or flanges, in ccmbination with the dish a., having ribs c, for retaining the tray in place, substantially as set forth.

Signed by lne this 7th day of March, A. D. 1881.
